just to stir the pot a little....... :-)
He could have a 2524 which has one ethernet port and one ISDN port and then
there are two "slots" for modules - so one version of 2500 is modular :-)
Unfortunately they are WAN modules not LAN modules so it still doesn't help
the poster get another ethernet port.
The poster could get an el cheapo 1005 or 3102 from eBay, connect the 2
routers back to back on their serial ports and then have the required
ethernet port.
The only reason I can see for not joining the lab to the present ethernet is
to keep it separate from production facilities. However, if the lab gets
chatty it could still affect the single router. (which could affect
production)
Anyway, any number of ways to do this from a second router to access lists.
